Gas Club, The Boardwalk, Friday

ONE time Arctic Monkeys touring buddies, these diligent fellas play a strong local talent bill tomorrow with Vegas Child and Union City also showing why there's still more to come out of Sheffield and its surrounds.

Across town the same night two of the most talented and prolific DJ/producers in the breaks scene - both from the Sheffield area - give DQ a run for its electricity meter.

Hope Valley chappie Vandal is a regular pair of hands at Urban Gorilla, having signed to Meat Katie's Lot49 imprint to release the likes of Mad As Hell, a huge smash with the likes of Adam Freeland, Plump DJs, Daddy G and Rogue Element and countless others. It was even picked by BBC Radio 's Zane Lowe as the 'hottest record in the world', then the clatter-mouth Kiwi does say that about something every other night.

Obey and Idiots have caused similar fuss.

Pal for the night Bob Kickflip has played alongside the likes of Switch, Utah Saints, A-Skillz and Meat Katie in hometown Sheffield. And he'll help smooth the way from 10pm-3.30am on Fitzwilliam St.
